Jonathan Taylor has scored eight rushing touchdowns through seven games in 2026, including multi-touchdown outings against Baltimore, Kansas City, and Washington, while averaging roughly 20 carries per contest as the Colts' clear lead back. Indianapolis sits at 2-5 with limited red-zone efficiency and an offense that has struggled to sustain drives, though Taylor has delivered explosive plays such as a 38-yard score in the Week 7 loss to Minnesota. Trade rumors involving multiple contenders have intensified following poor team results and front-office changes, with the November deadline approaching; any deal could alter his usage, offensive line support, or goal-line opportunities for the remainder of the 17-game schedule. Upcoming matchups include Jacksonville, Dallas, and Houston, where run-defense strength and rest factors will influence scoring chances.
